Ring Glass Break Sensor Guide

Ring Glass Break Sensor Guide - Ring says the Glass Break Sensor artificial intelligence to distinguish the sound of breaking glass from other sounds in your home. The sensor communicates with the Ring base station using Z-Wave, and it’s equipped with the latest generation Z-Wave Plus LR (long range) chip, which should ensure that its three AA alkaline batteries will last a good long while.

You can make the batteries last even longer by leaving the sensor in its default mode, in which case it only listens for the sound of breaking glass when the Ring Alarm system it’s connected to is in Home or Away mode (i.e., when the system is “armed”). You can configure the sensor to listen for the sound of breaking glass all the time, but this will reduce its battery life

My home’s basement windows are at ground level, where an intruder could easily kick them in, so that’s where I decided to install the Glass Break Sensor. I also installed a Ring Z-Wave Range Extender there, just in case. Being unwilling to sacrifice any of my actual windows, I brought a couple of empty bottles, a medium-sized pickle jar (also empty), and a large rock from my yard down into the basement with me

I donned a pair of leather gardening gloves, placed the rock in a cardboard box, and proceeded to smash the jar and the bottles against the rock (the box was to contain the broken glass). The Ring Glass Break Sensor never failed to trigger my alarm system when the glass broke

I realize that breaking bottles and jars isn’t a perfect analog for shattering plate glass, but I think it’s close enough for this purpose. I also made similar high-pitched noises by banging a hammer on a pipe, clanging large pieces of steel against a vise mounted to my workbench, and tapping pieces of metal against my basement’s concrete floor. Ring’s device dutifully ignored these other noises and never produced a false alarm

I’m currently self-monitoring my Ring Alarm Pro system, so I didn’t get a call asking if I needed an emergency response when the system went into an alarm state. Had I been using Ring’s professional monitoring service, which costs $20 per month

If you have a Ring Alarm or Ring Alarm Pro, the Ring Glass Break Sensor will provide another layer of protection over your home. It won’t replace contact sensors, which will trigger an alarm when windows are opened while your system is armed, but it will protect you if an intruder breaks the glass in a window or door instead of forcing it open
